Really nice place, with a central location close to the beach, restaurants and shops. The staff is very sweet, and a well cleaned hotel. The pool is a little cold, but you get use to it very quick. The food is also great

We've just spent a fantastic week here and can't say enough good things. The staff were all so lovely and helpful, the family room was perfect for us and our two children, and the location is absolutely incredible! My only constructive criticism would be to improve the pillows but I had to really dig deep for that one. Great hotel, we'll definitely look to come back at some point!

Basic hotel but has a problem with stomach bug outbreaks. We were ill along with many other guests staying here this last week. Reception were not helpful and the hand gel dispensers were either empty or broken. There's a busy carpark right outside the hotel . The pool area is small but nice, the pool is freezing
